Just in time for March Madness, Motorola has introduced the “College Collection” of colors and cases to its 2013 flagship, Moto X. Through MotoMaker, and using 9 new color options, Motorola hopes that you can create the phone for the ultimate fan in you. If not, they put together a gallery of pre-set color schemes for over 40 major schools, including Georgetown, Kentucky, Kansas, and Stanford, that should make the process painless. They even have clear cases for many of the schools that only feature a school logo.

If you are a student, faculty member or alum, Motorola will give you a special discount by registering at motorola.com/college with a valid .edu address. The discount will land you an off-contract Moto X for the discounted price of $339.

The nine new colors are purple, hunter green, blue, dark teal, orange, golden yellow, red, smoke, and slate. There are also three new accents of metallic orange, purple, and green. The College Collection can be found here; new MotoMaker colors here.

His wish comes true one night, and if you could only imagine, he gets into a whole bunch of awkward fun when he lands a job at a toy company. And wouldn’t you know, he even gets a crush on one of his co-workers. http://num.to/51-77-88-26-78-42

you seem to be a real pac-12 fan….. all bout the []_[] !!

anezarati

Is there a way to get the cases separately from the whole package?

morteum

If they launch this stuff fairly quickly with the Moto X successor this year, I’m getting it. Not only am I a college student, but I’m on Verizon and can’t spend $600 on a new phone whenever I want. Looks awesome. Lenovo or not.

James Madison is there but no Syracuse? FAIL! GO CUSE!!

trwb

Go Cuse!

Chris M

Will have to wait for the X2 to get my Canes phone!

Justin Jordan

Go ducks, and go Motorola!

Bryan

I was actually thinking a few months ago that they should do this during college football season. Good to see that they are doing it now, right before March Madness.

2 things…1 where my suny albany great danes(lol/smh)…and 2 people before you go all waa how can they not do my school u suck moto blah blah…they need to make a deal with the school to do this…so blame your beloved school before you blame poor lil chinese owned moto

Michael

No Kansas State…

DC

Isn’t that Gonzaga and not Georgetown?

Nicocat

Oh, now I’m mad. I settled for teal when I got mine for the Black Friday deal. I really like that hunter green :<

Anyone complaining that their school isn’t there can go here and make a request:

Seriously. Apparently Motorola doesn’t do much research. Largest football fanbase, hightest % of local population in fanbase for football and 4th highest for basketball. You can rip the recent results all you want, but the fact of the matter is, its smart business to cater to this massive group.

I always figured that was just because that was all the state of Ohio had going for it, and outside of Columbus OSU didn’t really have a national presence 😛 #GoGreenGoWhiteGoState

Michigan Guy

It’s because they suck.

samari711

Uhhh? White and green for Notre Dame? go home MotoMaker, you’re drunk

NexusMan

Dope. If they had my college, I’d definitely get it.

Derrick

How can they not have North Carolina? One of the best all around sports program in both men and women. One of the biggest public universities and clearly the best school in the nation 😉 (biased I know)

I see a few complaints about them not having Penn State. Fear not, I’m sure Penn State will sneak in from behind and make it on the list….

Paul

WISCO WHAT UPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Damian

Arizona!!!

hoosiercub88

Oh sure.. now we get an orange Moto X option Pbbbbt!

Fry

Geaux Tigers!

donkeykong85

No penn state????

AbbyZFresh

Dammit Motorola, you forgot to put U of Maryland.

James_Kernicky

I really want this, Rock Chalk! Too bad the phones already old, it wouldn’t make sense to buy it now.

Dominic Powell

it does work perfectly? and its only $349.

James_Kernicky

But if I can hold out just a while more I can have the latest and greatest…I’ve been saying that for a long time now.

hooligan

Me too! I’ve had the KU inspired MotoX saved in my designs for several months now haha. I reeeeeally wanted to pull the trigger and get one, but my N4 is still serving me quite well. I’m cautiously optimistic for a MotoX2 though …

James_Kernicky

What I wonder is how the Blue compares to the Royal Blue.

bobbymay1

Goddammit Ohio State!

ja7lewis

GO BLUE!!

Michigan Guy

Go BLUE!!!!

I like to say stuff too

GO GREEN!!!

Froosh Freak

Go f#%k yourself until you are blue in the face?

Michigan Guy

I don’t think that is possible?

Prox

they completely skipped my community college…….

AbbyZFresh

Community college?

They mean real universities buddy.

Prox

fail…..at……sarcasm.

James Monday

“Real” universities. There’s a lot of great work going on at community colleges. Understandably they aren’t going to get Moto X cases. But the fact that you completely missed the point of Prox’s comment suggests your presumed education at a “real” university missed a few things.

C-Law

I got a bachelors at a major university. A few years later I took some courses at the local community and I gotta say my teachers there were just as good. And if anything, they almost seemed to care more. I remember them posting much more online like powerpoints and reviews

The Narrator

Sounds like you wasted your money.

vzwuser76

Guess they didn’t have Sarcasm 101 as a course at your institute of higher learning.

Froosh Freak

Christ, where is the down vote when you REALLY need it?????? RETARD!!!

Mario Williams

Yeah Florida! GO GATORS!!

I love you, Moto.

Zach Constan

Dammit, I already HAVE a Moto X!

Aaron Hearne

Nice job using Auburn’s logo from the 90’s. Nobody’s going to buy that outdated crap.

Tony Byatt

Yeah, this must be the first of multiple releases…

They are missing several pretty big schools…

smh…

MichaelFranz

I’m sure mor eare going to get added once they hear more demand. I just wish they did the more colors sooner

What kind of passive aggressive comment is that? Was the Moto X not one of the bestest most coolest phones of 2013? Gosh… /kidding

flosserelli

It’s ok, Tim. All of the hardcore readers will still come to the site even if you change the name.
Geoff Johnson and I are merely highlighting the impression that DL is fascinated with any and all Moto X news, which is decidedly not the case with other android blogs. It is your site, promote the news as you see fit.

The fact that MotoMaker brought a few new colors is definitely what I’d consider newsworthy. If you don’t, I understand. Thanks for letting us do whatever we see fit, though. I appreciate that! 🙂

BK

Keep it up, Tim! It’s beyond me how reporting this latest new and relevant development makes this site inappropriately biased toward Moto. It’s an Android news site, and this seems squarely within that mission. Plus, it’s not like coverage of Samsung or HTC has been missing lately.

No, but they cover every single update on the Moto X, ranging from a difference in price, to a new color choice, to the website being down, and every review of a phone they post they always compare it to a Moto X.

Ralph Bretz

The website crashing from how many people attempted to buy the phjone at once during the sale was new also. And price changes, addition of colors is new also.
They’ve done that with every phone. When the HTC One 2013 addition kept being released in new colors there were article. Same with the Note 2 and 3 and Galaxy S fill in the blank. And they always compare new phones to others. All the time.
Where have you been? Last year every phone was compared to the GS4 and HTC ONE or Nexus 4. That is until the Nexus 5 and Moto X came out. Since it appears they consider the Moto X the number 1 Android phone of last year (I think they do based on their comments) it only seems obvious that they would compare new phones to that one.
If you don’t like seeing the Moto X articles why go read them. But you could always just go somewhere else.

Nikuliai

Totally agree, the X hate is basically stupid since they cover all brands, it’s just the X makes more changes every month.

PS: I feel like a grammar nazi but… it’s “news”, new is something fresh, something that just came out :B

vzwuser76

Do they not do the same for every update to a Galaxy device? Or when a new color comes out for it? Or the same for the HTC One, or G2? I’d rather they gives us news on everything rather than pick and choose what we see. If you’re seeing a lot of news on Moto, maybe it’s because they’re coming out with more offers or updates than the others.

While the college color thing might not seem newsworthy, the offer where you can get one for $339 if you register as a student or with a .edu address I would say is.

Moto X phone, best phone.
